ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN 30 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 30
La Patente JP63274660, presentada en 1988, se refiere a una mezcla cerámica diseñada para mejorar la eficiencia de secaderos y calentadores. Dicho polvo estaba constituido por una mezcla de óxidos minerales tales como Alúmina, Sílice, Titania y Circona, y estaba dopada con pequeñas cantidades de partículas de Platino y Paladio de tamaño coloidal. Este polvo podía 35 consolidarse y conformarse utilizando un cemento clásico de Aluminato Cálcico. JP63274660, filed in 1988, refers to a ceramic mixture designed to improve the efficiency of dryers and heaters. Said powder was constituted by a mixture of mineral oxides such as alumina, silica, titania and zirconia, and was doped with small amounts of platinum and palladium particles of colloidal size. This powder could be consolidated and formed using a classical Calcium Aluminum cement.

Sin embargo, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce que se haya descrito un polvo susceptible de ser cargado en fibras textiles y tejidos, con actividad fotocatalítica, capaz de eliminar contaminantes, moléculas productoras de olor, óxidos de nitrógeno, etc. However, at least on the part of the applicant, it is unknown that a powder capable of being loaded in textile fibers and fabrics, with photocatalytic activity, capable of removing contaminants, odor producing molecules, nitrogen oxides, etc., has been described.
Por otra parte, es sabido que en los últimos 10 años han aparecido numerosas aplicaciones de 25 las propiedades fotocatalíticas del óxido de titanio TiO2. Cuando el dióxido de titanio es expuesto a luz que contiene rayos UV, propiedades de purificación del aire, propiedades auto-limpiantes y propiedades antimicrobianas se pueden generar espontanea y simultáneamente en la superficie del material que lo contiene. On the other hand, it is known that in the last 10 years numerous applications of the photocatalytic properties of TiO2 titanium oxide have appeared. When titanium dioxide is exposed to light that contains UV rays, air purification properties, self-cleaning properties and antimicrobial properties can be generated spontaneously and simultaneously on the surface of the material that contains it.
30 30
Esto es debido a que el dióxido de titanio es un material fotocatalítico que tiene una estructura electrónica compuesta por dos bandas, la banda de valencia (llena de electrones) y la banda de conducción (sin electrones). La diferencia energética entre la banda de conducción y la banda de valencia es la llamada banda prohibida, y cuando un fotón con una energía superior a ésta, entra en contacto directo con este material fotocatalítico, un electrón (e-) de la banda de 35 valencia se mueve hacia la banda de conducción, dejando así un hueco electrónico (h+). Una porción de los pares fotoexcitados hueco-electrón se difunde hacia la superficie del material fotocatalítico, lugar donde es retenida para participar en reacciones químicas con moléculas de oxígeno y agua presentes en el medio ambiente. This is because titanium dioxide is a photocatalytic material that has an electronic structure composed of two bands, the valence band (full of electrons) and the conduction band (without electrons). The energy difference between the conduction band and the valence band is the so-called prohibited band, and when a photon with an energy higher than this one, comes into direct contact with this photocatalytic material, an electron (e-) of the band of 35 Valencia moves towards the conduction band, leaving an electronic gap (h +). A portion of the hollow-electron photoexcited pairs diffuses towards the surface of the photocatalytic material, where it is retained to participate in chemical reactions with oxygen and water molecules present in the environment.
40 40
Los huecos electrónicos (h+) pueden reaccionar con moléculas donantes adsorbidas como las de agua para producir los radicales hidroxilos (altamente reactivos). Electronic holes (h +) can react with adsorbed donor molecules such as water to produce hydroxyl radicals (highly reactive).
Actuando como receptor de electrones, el oxígeno presente en el aire puede reaccionar con los electrones para formar los aniones radicales superoxidantes (O2-). Los radicales hidróxilos 45 (oxidantes) y los aniones radicales superoxidantes (reductores) generados sobre la superficie del TiO2 han demostrado una gran capacidad para degradar diferentes tipos de microrganismos, casi todos los tipos de contaminantes orgánicos y otros compuestos inorgánicos tales como NOx y SO2. (Maury, A. y otros; Mat. Construcción, 60(298), 33-50. 2010) 50 Acting as an electron receptor, the oxygen present in the air can react with the electrons to form the superoxidant radical anions (O2-). The hydroxyl radicals 45 (oxidizers) and the superoxidant radical radicals (reducers) generated on the surface of TiO2 have demonstrated a great capacity to degrade different types of microorganisms, almost all types of organic pollutants and other inorganic compounds such as NOx and SO2. (Maury, A. and others; Mat. Construction, 60 (298), 33-50. 2010) 50
En general, la rapidez de degradación de los compuestos es función de la absorción de la luz, transporte de las cargas fotogeneradas (e- y h+) a la superficie, recombinación de e- y h+, In general, the rapidity of degradation of the compounds is a function of light absorption, transport of photogenerated charges (e- and h +) to the surface, recombination of e- and h +,
reacción de e- y h+, sobre la superficie del fotocatalizador, transferencia de masa de los reaccionantes y las características de las partículas, en relación tanto con las características estructurales como con las morfológicas. reaction of e- and h +, on the surface of the photocatalyst, mass transfer of the reactants and the characteristics of the particles, in relation to both the structural and morphological characteristics.
El dióxido de titanio puede cristalizar en tres tipos de estructuras cristalinas que son: rutilo 5 (tetragonal), anastasa (tetragonal) y brookita (ortorrómbica). De estas tres formas cristalinas del TiO2, el rutilo es la más estable, ya que la anastasa y la brookita se transforman en rutilo bajo calentamiento. La brookita no presenta significativa actividad fotocatalítica cuando es usada con luz visible. El rutilo, por su parte, tiene la banda prohibida más pequeña, 3,0 eV (equivalente a 413 nm en longitud de onda), mientras que el anastasa tiene la banda prohibida 10 más amplia, 3,2 eV (388 nm). Ambas bandas prohibidas están cercanas a la longitud de onda límite entre la longitud de onda larga de luz UV (315-400) y la luz visible (400-700). Cuando se han utilizado longitudes de onda larga de UV provenientes solamente de luz visible se ha observado una importante disminución de la actividad fotocatalítica del TiO2. Por lo tanto, se han realizado muchos esfuerzos para reducir la magnitud de la banda prohibida y permitir que 15 el efecto fotocatalítico del TiO2 se pueda obtener con luz visible. Se destacan entre estas estrategias, la utilización del doping de metales (hierro y wolframio) y no metales (carbono, nitrógeno y azufre) en el TiO2. (Milani, R.; y otros; SASBE 3th International Conference Proceedings. 2009). Titanium dioxide can crystallize in three types of crystalline structures that are: rutile 5 (tetragonal), anastase (tetragonal) and brookite (orthorhombic). Of these three crystalline forms of TiO2, rutile is the most stable, since anastase and brookite are transformed into rutile under heating. Brookite has no significant photocatalytic activity when used with visible light. Rutile, meanwhile, has the smallest prohibited band, 3.0 eV (equivalent to 413 nm in wavelength), while anastase has the widest prohibited band, 3.2 eV (388 nm). Both prohibited bands are close to the limit wavelength between the long wavelength of UV light (315-400) and visible light (400-700). When long wavelengths of UV from only visible light have been used, a significant decrease in the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 has been observed. Therefore, many efforts have been made to reduce the magnitude of the prohibited band and allow the photocatalytic effect of TiO2 to be obtained with visible light. Among these strategies, the use of metal doping (iron and tungsten) and nonmetals (carbon, nitrogen and sulfur) in TiO2 stands out. (Milani, R .; and others; SASBE 3th International Conference Proceedings. 2009).

Conviene señalar que, en la presente invención, se entiende por polvo cerámico micro o nanométrico a una mezcla de los componentes minerales citados en proporciones variables, y para la obtención de la misma, dichos componentes son sometidos a un proceso de mezclado 10 y posterior molienda que garantice la finura final de la mezcla. It should be noted that, in the present invention, micro or nanometric ceramic powder is understood as a mixture of the mineral components mentioned in varying proportions, and for obtaining it, said components are subjected to a mixing process 10 and subsequent grinding. that guarantees the final fineness of the mixture.
Es importante destacar que el tamaño de partícula del polvo final debe ser inferior a las 20 micras, y preferentemente inferior a 5 micras, con una fracción importante por debajo de la micra. Este tamaño se consigue utilizando sistemas de molienda bien probados en la industria, 15 fundamentalmente molinos jet o molinos de atrición. En cualquier caso, la efectividad del polvo será tanto mayor cuanto mayor sea su superficie específica y por tanto, cuanto menor sea su tamaño de partícula. It is important to note that the particle size of the final powder should be less than 20 microns, and preferably less than 5 microns, with a significant fraction below micron. This size is achieved using well-proven grinding systems in the industry, primarily jet mills or attrition mills. In any case, the effectiveness of the powder will be greater the greater its specific surface area and therefore, the smaller its particle size.
Igualmente, en la presente invención se entiende por cargado de las fibras textiles al proceso 20 por el cual se añade o incorpora el polvo cerámico a la masa o a la superficie de las fibras, lo cual puede efectuarse por dos procesos distintos: Likewise, in the present invention it is understood as loading of the textile fibers to the process 20 by which the ceramic powder is added or incorporated into the mass or surface of the fibers, which can be carried out by two different processes:
a) incorporación en masa del polvo al polímero durante el proceso de hilado, por mezcla de las cantidades adecuadas del mismo a la granza polimérica; o 25 a) mass incorporation of the powder into the polymer during the spinning process, by mixing the appropriate amounts thereof to the polymer pellet; or 25
b) recubrimiento de la superficie de las fibras por el polvo mineral, trabajando en caliente o por medio de un disolvente adecuado, es decir mediante un proceso de ensimaje diseñado a este fin. b) coating the surface of the fibers by the mineral powder, working hot or by means of a suitable solvent, that is, by means of a process of sizing designed for this purpose.
30 30
El porcentaje de polvo cerámico añadido a la fibra debe ser suficiente para que su efecto sea perceptible, es decir, la concentración de elementos activos debe ser suficiente para que se produzca la emisión infrarroja, y el efecto fotocatalítico buscado, pero esta concentración no debe ser tan alta como para que se modifiquen las propiedades de ligereza y flexibilidad de las fibras, y su capacidad para ser tejidas. 35 The percentage of ceramic powder added to the fiber must be sufficient for its effect to be noticeable, that is, the concentration of active elements must be sufficient for infrared emission to occur, and the photocatalytic effect sought, but this concentration should not be so high that the lightness and flexibility properties of the fibers are modified, and their ability to be woven. 35
Por ello, el porcentaje de polvo cerámico añadido a la fibra debe estar comprendido entre el 0.5 y el 5% en peso, excepto para aplicaciones especiales, en las cuales el porcentaje puede ser mayor. Therefore, the percentage of ceramic powder added to the fiber must be between 0.5 and 5% by weight, except for special applications, in which the percentage may be higher.
